Dentists

Without anesthetics, it would be. But this is almost never done without pain killers. For wisdom teeth, this may also include relaxants such as nitrous oxide.

The pain can be slight to moderate when the injections wear off, and analgesics may be prescribed during the healing process..

Yes in fact irecommend that they brush after every feeding. You see brushing your teeth after eating food is OK so long as what you ate is non acidic and blood is not acidic ... so brush away my fine fanged friends.

Yes, it is common.

Just as with tonsils, it is normal for a young child have large adenoids, and the simple fact that the adenoid pad is large is not a reason for surgery. Babies are born without visible tonsils and adenoids. The adenoids begin to grow in the first year of life, peak in size between age one and five, then slowly get smaller as a child grows. While the occasional teenager may still have adenoids big enough to cause blockage of the nose, this is rare and the adenoids typically shrink away before adolescence. http://www.kids-ent.com/website/pediatric_ent/tonsils_adenoids/index.html

You can smoke right up to the time you get them pulled, but you need to wait 48hrs after getting them pulled so you won't get a dry socket. Do not smoke for at least 48 hours after any extraction, to reduce the risk of having a dry socket. Two days at the least, 5 to greatly reduce your risk of dry socket, and even then, smoke as little as possible. Technically, I smoked the day of surgery and every day since, but I smoked very little, only a few small drags, and covered the area with wet gauze and rinsed lightly afterward. I got all 4 wisdoms removed; although all my teeth were erupted, he had to cut out the bottom two due to age (26) since the lower jaw bone is no longer spongy and the teeth can't be pulled. I'm on my sixth day and except for the first two days where I smoked a little more (I'm stupid, like a couple drags two or three times a day), I only have a couple drags in the morning (still with the gauze and rinse afterward - warm saltwater). I am a diehard smoker and I know I will go back to smoking once I am better healed (I see the dr. tomorrow for my check-up). While a part of me sees this as a perfect opportunity to quit and I even feel like I could, I just like smoking too much and I know that I'll start up again. We'll see. I have relied heavily on the patch and rather than focusing on how I'd like to smoke, I've just been picturing how bad it is in terms of healing to be smoking. So far, I have not had any dry sockets, but I also heard that dry socket can occur for up to 14 days after surgery (though highly unlikely). I think I'm in the clear but at this point I just want it to heal well - even when I do step outside to smoke, it just seems not worth it since I really can't enjoy it. If i can't smoke all I want and how I want, then it's really not worth it, especially with the threat of dry socket. I agree with everything the other person posted - smoke as little as possible and when you do, cover the holes with wet gauze (not dry or it will stick to the surgery site!!) and do not suck, place the cig in front of your mouth and just breath it in from the end without using your lips to grasp it. Drink water afterwards during the first 24 (if you stupidly decide to smoke like me), and rinse with saline solution after the first 24. Always rinse gently and be sure to follow all of your doctor's instructions for aftercare. I recommend getting a patch and smoking as little and as gently as possible (I would really recommend not at all, especially for the first 48, but I'm trying to be realistic). Just put on a patch (I found that it worked amazingly well) and keep your mind off of it as much as you can. I know it's hard, but it's only something you have to do for a little while and I was actually surprised at myself for being able to smoke next to nothing for the past six days. My doctor's instructions were not to smoke for at least 48 hours, others say 72 hours, and others say at least 4 days. Dry socket typically occurs within 3 to 5 days after surgery, so I would try to smoke as little and as carefully as possible for those 5 days. They say that a week without smoking is optimal as it allows for the best healing. Dry socket typically occurs after getting the lower wisdom teeth removed because there is poor blood circulation to that part of the mouth - smoking exacerbates this, which is why it increases your chances of dry socket, along with the toxic chemicals and smoke that can dissolve the clot and the suction from smoking. Get the patch and try not to think about smoking - the more you think about it, the more you'll want to smoke. Good luck!!

Day. Unless you work at a hospital or a special clinic.

Here is what I think. I am gettig two of my baby teth pulled tomorrow because I have teeth growing over it, and my orthodontist wants it out. I've heard that once your tooth is numb, you wont feel any pain!!

There is no exact age. Just when they start to grow in. They only should be pulled if they need to. If your mouth has room for them, you don't have to get them pulled. But if you do need to get them pulled (as they will mess up your teeth alignment made by braces or mouth is too small), get them pulled when they start to grow in. SEE A DOCTOR about this.

The schooling to be an orthopedic surgeon is quite long. It begins with 4 years of undergrad work, followed by 4 years of medical school. You will then be required to complete at least 2 years of training in surgery and a residency.

Doctor of Medical Dentistry

Use an electric toothbrush, mouth floss, and mouthwash. Don't try anything else because that is the best way, end of. Rememeber to brush for 2 minutes or more as that is the recommended amount of time to brush your teeth, any more is even better naturally.

You can buy clove oil at the pharmacy for around $4.00. You dip a q-tip in the oil and place it right on the tooth. You can also do the same with Orajel. You can try Tylenol or ibuprofen, whichever you prefer. If the pain gets too bad to handle a doctor can prescribe you something stronger, such as vicodin or percocet.

It depends on the practice. I think the biggest influence on working conditions is the volume of patients you see in a given time. It is a very hard job, both mentally and physically. You may think it is easy, but it is actually quite a difficult occupation.

From a physical point of view, dentistry is very hard on your eyes, neck and back. Dentists also may have repetitive injury type of problems (carpal tunnel syndrome) due to the nature of the work and motions involved. I often go home very tired - I used to work as a carpenter before I went to college, and I think I feel just as tired after a day of doing dentistry.

From a mental point of view, you have to be able to concentrate and work on very small objects (teeth), and complete procedures that have a very small tolerance for error. And you have to do this on a living, breathing, feeling, and sometimes moving patient. You are under a bit of pressure, because unlike hair, teeth don't grow back if you cut them too short - there is very little room for mistakes. The patient may also be nervous/scared, and sometimes we have to do things to patients that we know are going to to be uncomfortable. You have to be very aware of the medical conditions of patients -- even though we are usually just working on teeth, they are attached to a patient.

Dentistry requires a lot of patience to deal with the wide variety of people that walk in the door and their myriad of problems and personalities.

And you must be very, very careful - we deal with sharp instruments, blades, and needles all day - and it only takes one needle stick with a contaminated instrument to ruin your day.

So why do this? It is rewarding in the end, and you are actually helping people. The income is higher than average, and for the most part it is "bankers hours". In the end, do it because you like this sort of work, otherwise you may not be happy regardless of the conditions in the practice you end up in.

I would love to share one of experience in your site. I was travelling to Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh ,India. That time due to very cold situation i suffered with severe toothache so i visited one dental clinic over there. It was a great experience with them. I would like to suggest anyone if they come to any such situation can visit them. They have a very skilled team and advanced technology which helped me recover very soon.

Your orthodontist (the doctor for braces) will do it when the time is right to remove them. Dont take them off early - they might be horrible now but you will thank your parents in a few years when your not one of those people with bad teeth.

Swelling occurs after a tough wisdom tooth extraction, especially if it was located in the lower jaw. The swelling reaches its maximum around the fourth day after the surgery and then slowly goes down for about a week.

After Surgery you should initially apply ice, then after 24 hours apply moist heat. This will help in reducing the swelling. Swelling usually appears the next day after surgery and is a natural process of healing. For the pain take the pain medicine prescribed by the surgeon.

to repair or bring out a teeth

Dentists, are people who are specially trained to treat peoples problems with their teeth, so they would repair your teeth if it needs to be, and they will treat various diseases relating to the gums and teeth, and they will remove your tooth if necessary.

It can be challenging to get into the dental school of your choice. You need to do well on the DAT test. You should have some clinical research or internships behind you. You should have maintained a high GPA. Remember to apply early and you should have a better than average chance.

The doctor or dentist needs to test to find out if a patient is a bleeder before the procedure in order to take precautions if the patient is a bleeder. Otherwise, the patient could bleed to death.

i just got an estimate of about $6000 dollars. I am not pleased about it. Does anyone know of another way to handle this? I am 38 years old and I was told my teeth are that of a 50 or 60 year old.

I don't really know what they're made out of but i DO know that you only have to get them if you get a cavity or something

it take 3-4 years to become a dentist and sometimes more depending on your skill and points

Novacaine has not been the drug of choice for dental treatment for many decades. Several superior local anesthetics have been developed since novacaine was used. Novacaine has fallen out of use due to its relatively high incidence of allergic reactions.

Today, lidocaine is considered the gold standard against which all other local anesthetics are compared.

Today many dentists use a combination of local anesthetics such as Septocaine (fast acting) and lidocaine (long lasting).

For patients who have heart conditions or are highly susceptible to epinephrine (an ingredient in many local anesthetics) the most common alternative is mepivicaine 3% w/o epinephrine.

The term 'novacaine' is often used with patients (incorrectly) to mean local anesthetic of any kind, much like 'Kleenex' is used to mean facial tissue.
